Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018192712A1] The invention relates to a method for monitoring an automated facility (A), a plurality of field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4) being incorporated into the facility (A), said method comprising: connecting a cloud gateway (CG) to the first communication network (KN1) of the facility (A); determining the field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4) connected to the first communication network (KN1); checking whether, for at least some of the determined field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4), appliance descriptions corresponding to the determined field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4) are available on a server (SE) connected to the cloud gateway (CG) by means of a second communication network (KN2); downloading the appliance descriptions corresponding to the respective determined field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4) from the server (SE) and installing the appliance descriptions on the cloud gateway (CG); creating at least one configuration plan (KP) by means of the server (SE), the configuration plan (KP) defining at least one field appliance (F1, F2, F3, F4) to be solicited, the type of data solicited from the field appliance (F1, F2, F3, F4) and the frequency at which the data is solicited for each individual field appliance (F1, F2, F3, F4) to be solicited; transmitting the configuration plan (KP) to the cloud gateway (CG); soliciting the data from the field appliances (F1, F2, F3, F4) to be solicited by means of the cloud gateway (CG) according to the configuration plan (KP) found on the cloud gateway; transmitting the solicited data to the server (SE) via the cloud gateway (CG); and collecting and evaluating the transmitted data on the server (SE). The invention also relates to a cloud gateway (G) for carrying out the method according to the invention.
